Praline Crust:
2 tablespoons hot melted butter
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
1/2 cup sugar substitute (recommended:
Splenda)
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon
ground cinnamon
Pie Filling:
1 (15-ounce) can no sugar added pumpkin filling
3/4 cup sugar substitute (recommended: Splenda)
1 tablespoon plus a dash pumpkin pie spice
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
4 eggs
Low Carb Whipped Cream, recipe follows
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Make the crust: Mix all crust ingredients
together in a small bowl. While mixture is still warm from the
butter, press it evenly into the bottom of a deep-dish pie pan.
Bake for about 5 minutes, or until browned. Remove piecrust from
oven.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Make the filling: Place all filling ingredients
in a medium bowl and mix well with a wire whisk. Pour filling
into prebaked piecrust. Bake for 15 minutes and then reduce the
oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Continue to bake for an
additional 50 to 55 minutes. To test for doneness, stick a
toothpick in the center; if it comes out clean, the pie is done.
Cool and then chill before serving. To serve, top each slice
with a dollop of low carb whipped cream.
Low
Carb Fresh Whipped Cream:
1 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup sugar substitute (recommended:
Splenda)
1 teaspoon no sugar added vanilla
extract
With an electric mixer on
high, whip the heavy cream just until frothy. Then add in the
sugar substitute and vanilla extract and continue to whip on
high until peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip, or cream
will break. Transfer to a pastry bag or just spoon onto pie.
